Driver of the FIRE LINDY RUFF Bandwagon since 2008.

To think that not that long ago, I used to get cassette tapes from the library and dub them so I could listen to them on a walkman. I would have never believed someone who said that I'd be able to download a song - no, wait, thousands of songs, directly to a portable device that is smaller than that walkman.

I also used to think how cool it'd be to have a TV you could carry around in your pocket and watch movies on...as exampled here, now you can. Heck, it was only 10 years ago that the only way to get a recorded movie was to go to Blockbuster and rent the VHS (and then dub it, shhh).

It's bizarre. People my age are the last that can remember a time where patience was a necessity for just about anything. Even then, not everyone my age does; that's typically dependent upon on how wealthy their families were when they were children, because a lot of what is available today was available in the '90s. It was just much more expensive and much crappier. I do think that listening to radio for hours just to listen to one song to record it (only to have the DJ talk over the end) is at least one universal experience that wasn't contingent upon that, though. I just explained to my eight-year-old brother that when I was ten and my family got our first computer, the average YouTube video would have taken a couple of hours to download. He was incredulous.

I hope I never stop being amazed at all of it lol. It's fascinating just watching the effect that it has on people.

It is true, DVD's came about in our generation and I remember the Windows 95, 98, ME, and XP clearly and how dial up was basically all we had.

This annoys me to no end. There is such massive dissonance in how people judge themselves versus how they judge others, and the hypocrisy is enough to make me want to scream some days. I've been aware of it since I was twelve or so (and decided to stop it in myself because oh my word its ubiquitousness makes it infuriating), but I didn't know there was a term for it before now. Thanks, Wikipedia. Yay for looking up random psychology crap.

Well come on now, I still use XP. I think it still has a larger market share than any other OS.

I started with a DOS machine, about a year later we put Windows on it. Had a whopping 2 mb of RAM and a 14.4 mbps modem. And that would probably make me look pretty young.



I used to have a cassette almost constantly recording when I had the radio on...whenever there was a song I wanted to keep, I'd dub it over to another tape and then record over the first tape.

I should go dig out those tapes. I know I haven't thrown them away. See how many times Danny Nevereth's voice cuts in.

And it's hard to imagine a world without digital cameras.

Uh, wouldn't that include plants? Kinda makes it hard to eat if you can't eat a living thing because you "share a connection".

It goes in as a plant and comes out as a turd. I'm thinking it dies somewhere in between.

I mean the entire plant. Fruit, vegetables, nuts and everything that you get from a plant you can remove without destroying the plant itself. In order to eat meat, you kill the entire animal.

I know, I'm not old at all, but some people don't ever remember using a Windows 95 machine. I clearly remember 98 to a T as alot of computers that run 2000 look like Win98.

And it was seemed like it was around the 2000 timeline that cell phones REALLY took off, and then about what, 5 years ago texting is the biggest hit with cell phones.

I remember when the PS2 came out and the Xbox came out and online console gaming in it's infancy.

I remember some of the first digital camera's, they were huge because you needed a 3.5in floppy disk for a picture and they could only take 5 pictures.

You'd still be causing it pain by harvesting large portions of it. My view is, if it wasn't meant to be eaten it would have evolved natural defenses against predators. That's why folks don't eat blue octopus, manowars, poison dart frogs, and pitcher plants.

When a tree gets chopped down in the forest I don't feel it. Haha

Had to add something.

I need a seat belt latch for my passenger side. Gotta love an almost complete interior in a 21 year old car. Rear seats have no seat belts at all or brackets, basically just sitting there, but there isn't any room for anyone to sit in there anyways.

Just about everything has a natural defense against predators, it's just how good they are at avoiding getting eaten. Rabbits can run around quickly, but that's about it. Poison dart frogs know they can't get away so they poison the shit out of what's trying to eat it.

I don't know where I'm going with this...

So, the dude at work who's training me apparently got grazed with a bullet during the shooting at City Grill last night. 8 struck, 4 dead. The shooting broke out during a wedding party

you can eat poison dart frogs and mantellas. you would just need to extract the poison from the skin, which is done by hanging a frog by its leg over a fire.

i mean, id never advise it, and those frogs are tiny anyways.

the more you know!
